DOK.COLOGNE – Roll the tape! Presenting Caroline Wahl’s favorite documentary

Caroline Wahl is not only a successful author – she is a literary phenomenon. Ever since her debut novel “22 Lengths”, her name has been a fixture on the bestseller lists. The book can be found on display at every bookstore, you see the cover everywhere people are reading or talking about books – on the train, at the pool, or while scrolling through Instagram. So it came as no surprise when the follow-up, “Gale Force 17”, also debuted at number one. By the time she published “The Assistant”, Caroline Wahl had cemented her reputation as the shooting star of the German literature scene: For weeks, this novel dominated not only the bestseller charts but also debates in the arts and culture pages. Tonight, however, Caroline Wahl is not appearing as an author, but as a movie-watcher: She will introduce us to her favorite documentary film and talk about it.
